Tokenization is the process of representing text into smaller meaningful lexical units. Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) is a popular subword-based tokenization algorithm used by state-of-the-art NLP models like RoBerta, BART, GPT, etc. In this video, we look into pros and cons of other methods and understand BPE through an example.
